Just in case the solo career and Nsync comeback album turn sour Justin Timberlake is embarking on a second career - he is joining US sports cable network Turner Sports as a special correspondent - a job which will include the task of covering the British Open Golf tournament, the National Basketball Association season, the NASCAR car racing season, the PGA golf Championship and college football.
"We are excited at what this unique marriage between the world of sports and entertainment can bring to our high-profile sports properties," a spokesperson for Turner Sports told reporters yesterday. "Justin's interest and enthusiasm not only in the NBA, but in all sports should help provide our broadcasts with a new, fresh approach."
